Hello,
I am working on an AP Physics book (UEB technical, single sided, contracted) and have these 2 tables in the appendix.
I tried listing them using column 1 heading as cell 5 heading. But it looks odd to have a column heading with three dot 5s. (Three periods in this post indicate the three dot 5s.) “Atomic Number, Z: …” Followed on the next line by “Name: …”.
Also, the list in Table B where the heading is blank also looks odd. “…: …”
Any other ideas on how I might change things to look less odd? Or is the oddity something the reader is likely to work through without a problem?
I believe the best way to represent this table is as you have suggested: Using column 1 as a cell 5 heading and using three dots 5s to represent the blank entries. In table A, the repeated headings should make things clear enough.
In table B, you could put a transcriber’s note as the column heading for the column that has no print heading: TNColumn 6TN. This would provide some extra clarity. Basically you would treat it as an embedded transcriber’s note.
